Use the West System pumps to pump out any quantity (from drops to cups) of resin or hardener of any brand or system, any size can you want into the cup on a digital scale. Saves a lot of mess trying to pour a viscous liquid. Of course, use a different pump for the resin and for the hardener. I also use the West System pumps for thinners and cleaners.
Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If folks are wondering why 1 gram resolution is important, try mixing up 26 grams (less than an ounce) of Aeropoxy without one. If you start with 20 grams of resin and then multiply by 1.27 to get the amount of hardener to add, you end up with 25.4 grams, so you slowly add 5.5 grams of hardener to the 20g of resin already in the cup. This is done by maintaining the same slow pour rate and watching the scale to get a feel for how long it takes to pour half a gram... ...I know the West Systems guys will mention that with the West pump you don't need no schtinkin' scales, but I would be skeptical of an ounce of epoxy that came out of the first stroke of a pump. And I'm sure most folks have figured this out, but it's best to split the components down into manageable sizes for pouring purposes. I use a medium size glass jar and a smaller one, like a baby food or small pickle jar for the hardener. The small size makes it easier to pour accurate amounts, and keeps waste to a minimum.
